Project bag? ... Porta lavoro?

I have often admired this simple chart from The Sampler Girl and I finally got round to stitch it. Fabric is a pure-white evenweave (though the photo makes it look like antique white) and I used the DMC equivalents instead of the hand-dyed threads. Thought solid colors would look better over white evenweave.

Now, I have this fantastic scrap of blue linen and am planning to use it to turn the stitching into a project bag. But... the blue linen is not extra-large. There is more than enough to make the back and add a nice border around the stitching but the linen left will suffice either for a flap or an inside pocket. So I am torn between two possibilities: flap or pocket? :)
